When talking about back flexibility, it’s important to remember that there are many ways our spine helps us move, not just backbending! If we consider all of the different ranges of motion our spine can move in, we have:
1. Backbending/arching backwards (spinal extension)
2. Rounding forwards (spinal flexion)
3. Sidebending (lateral flexion)
4. Twisting (axial rotation)
